The swarm visibility engine

Lead withClankie.

A lead agent that manages other agent harnesses as a cohesive swarm, and lets you control everything in one place.

What it is

A lead agent, tending a swarm you can actually see.

Clankie spawns your coding workers — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or its own CLI — as live panes on a bundled terminal, then renders the whole run as a garden you read at a glance. No tailing logs. No scrollback archaeology. Just look at the plot and know what’s moving.

  • See the whole run at a glance. Every worker is a sprite — working, idling, sleeping, done — so the state of the swarm reads in a single look, never a scrollback dig.
  • It runs itself, until it shouldn’t. The lead spawns, watches, reviews the diff, and merges — you step in only when a call is genuinely yours to make.
  • Nothing happens off-screen. Every pane is recorded and summarized live, so presence and status carry the story without a single log line.

The protocol

Work the way you want.

Clankie bends to your workflow, not the other way around. Track work in Linear, GitHub, or Jira. Gate on Figma designs. Set your Git and PR conventions. Hand off review and merge — or keep them yourself. Every part of the protocol is a switch you flip on or off.

The cast

A hue for every harness.

Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Clankie’s own worker CLI — each kind of worker wears its own leaf, so a glance tells you who is working, not just how many. Bring your own and it gets a hue too.

The Clankie app

The garden goes where you do.

The same live session everywhere you work — on your Mac or PC at the desk, and on iPhone in your pocket. Every worker a sprite you can watch, steer, and wake. In fact, the garden up top is that app — the same renderer, running right here in your browser.

Desktop — Mac & PC soon

In the open

One monorepo, four moving parts.

The engine is open source — clone it, read every line, and run your own swarm. No black box between you and your agents.
